Tribes of Ui Maine Y-DNA Project | Presentation PART 2 | Glennon Case Study

Part Two of a Talk launching the Tribes of Ui Maine Y-DNA Project, given at Athleague, Co. Roscommon and at Ballinasloe, Co. Galway during National Heritage Week in August 2024.
The Tribes of Ui Maine Project will explore the genetic heritage of the region of south Roscommon, east Galway, Clare border parishes and Lusmagh parish, Co Offaly; a territory that composed the medieval Kingdom of Ui Maine or Hy Many as it is often anglicized.
This Part of the talk uses insights from the Glennon Y-DNA Project to demonstrate how we can break through genealogical brick walls of the early 1800s to learn more about our earlier ancestry and the history of our surnames down through the centuries.
Using a Case study of the Roscommon and Galway Glennons, the presentation shows how we can combine Y-DNA branching with traditional land records to track the distribution of the a regional surname group during the Cromwellian Transplantations of the mid-seventeenth century.
